This document sets out the WAG blood borne viral hepatitis action plan for Wales for the period April 2010 - April 2015. It is proposed that during this period, services in Wales will be continually re-evaluated and markers of success (reduction in transmission rates and significant increases in numbers diagnosed and treated) and barriers to progress identified. Further action to tackle chronic HBV and HCV in Wales will be identified for action from 2015. This action plan aims to provide a clear, costed and time defined framework for the planning and provision of key services in Wales.
